A 10-year-old claims the throne as Young Simba in The Lion King on Broadway
10-year-old Davis Matthews who first auditioned early this year for Lion King musical is now starring as Young Simba in ‘The Lion King’ on Broadway until December. Davis, who grew up in New Rochelle, has always enjoyed singing, acting, and dancing. Tabitha, his mother, is his motivation. She has appeared in numerous community theatres and is his acting tutor.
David Matthews will make his Broadway debut in The Lion King; he began performing at the age of six with White Plains Performing Arts Center and has since appeared at Sandbox Theater and Random Farms Kids Theater. Bazemore, a veteran of the The Lion King Touring and Broadway performances, has also appeared in regional productions of Ragtime, Rachel, and The Snow Day. The audience love new young Simba. Davis Matthews’ own circle of relatives love the pleasure it brings him and the message it sends to different children. “The feeling of just being so proud that he is living out his dream, living out his ancestor’s dream, and so many other kids that look up to you, who look just like you, and you’re able to say if I did it, you can do it too,” Tabitha Matthews said. This will be another milestone for The Lion King Broadway show.

“Awe-inspiring! Broadway theatre is alive again. Julie Taymor’s imaginative ideas seem limitless. It’s a gorgeous, gasp-inducing spectacle. Most important – against all odds – it has innocence. The show appeals to our primal, childlike excitement in the power of theatre to make us see things afresh.” said Richard Zoglin from Time Magazine
